Knife bayonet for use on the 7.62 mm. NATO caliber CETME Model C selective-fire rifle. Also used on the FR–7 and FR–8 training rifles.
The first version of the CETME, designated Model 1958, did not mount a bayonet. These bayonets are often referred to as the M1969. However, according to Calvó, the official designation was Machete Bayoneta Modelo 1964.
The M1964 bayonet has checkered plastic grips and an unfullered bolo blade. The scabbard has an integral web belt frog. This bayonet has a very unusual rectangular mounting slot. A distinctive CETME Model C bayonet variant with smooth grips and a fullered blade is believed to have been made for export to Guatemala.
CETME is an acronym for Centro de Estudios Técnicos de Materiales Especiales (Center for Technical Studies of Special Materials). CETME was the Spanish government design and development establishment where German designer, Ludwig Vorgrimler, modified the German StG45(M) assault rifle to create the CETME.
The two crests stamped into the blade are the Toledo Coat of Arms and the factory crest of the Instituto Nacional de Industria (INI), Empresa Nacional de Santa Barbara de Industrias Militares (in English, National Industrial Institute, National Business, Santa Barbara Military Industries). Santa Bárbara Sistemas was purchased from the Spanish Government by General Dynamics Corp. in 2001, who operated it until its closure in 2013.
